TCU @ Stanford: Betting Preview

At the two-year mark since the 2022 offseason, both Stanford and TCU find themselves at a crossroads, which I’ll detail in my TCU vs. Stanford prediction.

The Cardinal went on a search for a new head coach after the departure of David Shaw, ultimately landing Troy Taylor from FCS Sacramento State. Taylor’s success speaks for itself, finishing with at least nine wins every season and a 12-1 record in 2022.

After a loss in the FC Quarterfinals,  the innovative uptempo offense would land in Palo Alto. Stanford surprised in Taylor’s first season as head coach, landing two road upsets over Colorado and Washington State as a double-digit underdog.

On the other side, Sonny Dykes enters his third season with TCU two years removed from a run to the National Championship. However, the vibes have changed in Fort Worth after a 5-7 season that saw the Horned Frogs take a step back after losing more experience than any other FBS team.

With both of these teams in desperate need of a hot start, an opening victory can change the narrative for either program. So, which side will get off to that hot start?
